SealHunt.net

It is always nice to see another site devoted to providing credible sourced facts to the public. The main site is unfortunatley hacked but the subpages remain.

Perhaps we will partner with this site in the future

The below pictures are taken on a public transport bus in the city of Ottawa, Canada. The sticker is attached to the back of a seat in such a way that it is difficult to remove. This picture is akin to the many other stickers with tags that mar the public transport system. The picture is a depiction of a sealer with a Hakapik raised ready to strike a seal below him or her. Someone (perhaps the person who stuck the image) has written “Waterproof and stylish too” with an arrow pointing at the seal.

Below is one of the most common myths of the seal hunt. This is a sourced fact from the Government of Canada Fisheries department. There will be more posted from this site in the coming days. The government is listed as a trusted source because it is under legal obligation to provide accurate statistics.

 Please feel free to comment

Myth #1: The Canadian government allows sealers to kill adorable little white seals.Reality: The image of the whitecoat harp seal is used prominently by seal hunt opponents. This image gives the false impression that vulnerable seal pups are targeted by sealers during the commercial hunt.

The image of the whitecoat harp seal is used prominently by seal hunt opponents. This image gives the false impression that vulnerable seal pups are targeted by sealers during the commercial hunt.The hunting of harp seal pups (whitecoats) and hooded seal pups (bluebacks) is illegal – and has been since 1987. Marine Mammal Regulations prohibit the trade, sale or barter of the fur of these pups. Furthermore, seals cannot be harvested when they are in breeding or birthing grounds.
